What do you get when you have a room full of overenthusiastic persons sitting together? According to an article I once read: the stock market. Well, after last week, it seems that all of them have become pessimistic. What do you get when you put a bunch of persons in the same room that don’t know whether to be positive or negative? Well, right now, you probably get fans of the Orioles and the Diamondbacks.
The season is still very young, of course, with just 10 games in, but after splitting the opening series against the Cubs and winning on the road in Yankee Stadium, it certainly feels something of an underachievement to lose in Washington, although that team looks like it might soon step back into contention, despite being at 1-5 when we played them.
